Illinois Gets new "Excessive Speeding" Law for 2011 (Senate Bill 3796)
Signed into law in July, 2010 this new driving law aims its sights at drivers who speed between 30 and 39 miles above any posted speed limit. Now this type of speeding is considered a Class B misdemeanor, which carries a $1,500 fine and potentially leads to six months of jail time.
In addition, those speed demons that go 40 miles over the posted speed limit will no longer be able to hide the infraction via court supervision; this is sure to lead to hefty increases in insurance rates.
